Handling your hat

How to handle your hat properly

The life of your hat depends on how it's used. Here are a few simple rules to prolong the life of your headgear:

Never :

• There's nothing worse than touching your hat with dirty, oily or sweaty hands to damage it.

Always :

• Take your hat from underneath, holding it by the front and back edge to preserve the shape and all the edges of the hat.
• Once tousled ,place the hat on a hat stand or marotte to maintain its shape.

Avoid:

• Place your hat on any flat surface, especially if your headgear has a lowered brim.

A few tips:

• To preserve the brim of your fedora hat, you'll need to reassemble it as you did when you bought it.
• If your hat is a traveller (with lowered brim), place it on the skullcap to avoid damaging the brim.
• In most cases, place your hat on a clean surface and on the crown.
